Question Building new pc - any advice helps

[Niklas_13]

I think the bundle I listed isn't bad and gives me a good base ..the mobo is 200$alone and I can upgrade it to 14000 if I wanted which is overkill so my money is going to go a long way

Yah you cant beat the microcenter bundle
i picked up a 7700x with the MSI p650- pro and 32 gigs of dddr5 for my kids build for 349.00 Now it like 399.00

I definitely would like to keep my rig for over a decade lol. I have a 1st generation i7 and it's the best chip I can put in my mobo...with ddr3 ram. It's a terrible feeling...i7 2nd generation cpu is so trash I see what a bad cpu does I'd definitely like one that's overkill just to stick it to my i7. 12000kf is like 150$ on Amazon not that much.

If I don't go with that bundle and don't need that mobo for overclocking. What's mobo should I go with and what cpu

I had an i7-8700k until 2 months back. I was moving my PC, it applied pressure to the back of my GPU, and it broke my sole PCI socket. Such a shame, it even overclocked to 5.2ghz all cores. I would have kept it if I could, those i7s sure are built to last. Mine was still maxing everything out no problem, with plenty to spare.

With no overclocking then I would recommend ditching the i5-12600fk and treating yourself to a i5-13400 or i5-14400. Same core counts, same type of speeds, slightly cheaper. All three should get you a decade.

Careful if you go for the i5-14400, some of the motherboards being sold haven`t been bios flashed to the latest revisions yet. You might need to USB bios flash yourself.

With no overclocking you can cheap out on the motherboard, and you should cheap out on the DDR5 too, no higher than 5600. PC Parts Picker will give you the cheapest options on any particular day.

If you stick with the bundle then take notes of the components and buy them separately yourself, it`ll be cheaper.

I mean no need for me to overclock a 12000 yet..but maybe down the line

If its overclocking for ego, then yes go for it.

If its overclocking because you have to for gaming at top spec, its not going to happen for a decade. And by then you`ll probably have upgraded. We`d definitely be on DDR7 by then.

Regarding overclocking, most newer CPUs pretty much boost automatically so you may not see a lot of gains from observing these days.

What would be a good alternative to the microcenter bundle? I dont want something thats going to be outdated in the next few years.

Heres a good video with a good 750$ build. no monitor though.

Thats the list of parts in the youtube video build.. good cheap psu I guess at least.

My friend says they have an extra case and psu sitting around Im waiting to find out which kind.

Is a 6750xt really going to be good enough for 1440p or should I spend the extra 50$ for the 6800. or even spend the xtra 70$ for a 7700xt . As much as I hate spending more I feel like it would be worth it. Would I even be able to use them in that mobo with that psu

What do you think of my current build? Good idea? Bad idea?

Seems like a lot and I still need a monitor maybe I stick with the 6750xt -.-

 

[ohio_buckeye]

Considering you still need a monitor if budget is tight get the 6750xt. It’s still a good card and you can always sell it and update later. The 6800 is a better card but fsr and frame generation can help things out also.

My new current build costs $960.... at least I know itll be good and it comes with a monitor.....seems like a lot of money though lol

I plan on going with the microcenter deal and throwing a rx 6800 in it for now.... the mobo supports ddr5,14th gen chipsets, pcie 5.0 and and has core boost.... seems like I could upgrade this later down the road if I really had to. While still having a decent pc for now. I really cant afford to spend anymore than this right now

 

[Maximuzzm]

cpu: intel core i5-12600kf
mobo: msi z790-p pro wifi
gpu: rx 6800
ram: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200
case: friends giving me one
psu: corsair cx650 650w (also gifted from friend)
storage: friends giving me 2tb 4th gen ssd
display: Acer VG271U M3bmiipx 27.0" 2560 x 1440 180 Hz Monitor

i get the mobo ram and cpu all for $250 at microcenter also trying to utilize what my friend has laying around... anyways lmk what you think of this build and how i could change it for the better im already spending a ton hence the psu.

ill be building this pc in a few days unless i get good advice on what to buy otherwise. I like the fact it can still be upgraded with the mobo being top tier

idk how i can really beat that microcenter bundle... id love any suggestions
